We crafty types ultimately do this for the love and joy of it, and then often torture ourselves with the "but I should be doing"s. As far as I'm concerned, if we don't feel the joy of what we're doing, how on earth do we expect anyone else to? The simple beauty of your spots and scrolls are always a joy to behold, Laura, so you keep doing you.

You definitely have a signature style with your scrolls and dots and I can recognise your beads without having to see any comment about who did them. As for why you create, I agree it is definitely about the glass and not always about the techniques used - in saying that, I always wandered as a child how they got the little ribbons inside marbles. And I admit to destroying a fair few to find out. If only lampworking was common back then......Bobbie Penehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524808969246154355noreply@blogger.com
